‘History of UNM’ lectures expanded, open to the public

In response to the positive feedback from the University community, UNM’s Department of History is expanding the public lecture series for History 220: The History of UNM.

The course is designed to give students the opportunity to investigate the history of UNM from the University’s founding in 1889 up to the present. Students are able to explore the history of their place at UNM while also learning about the major events and issues in the school’s history. A lot has changed in those years, and discussions in evolutions in student life, athletics, academics, architecture, expansion, university policies, activism and crises on campus as well as the role of UNM in Albuquerque and the world will all take shape during the semester.

The lecture series provides students, staff, faculty and the general public the opportunity to learn about a variety of historical topics at the state’s flagship institution.
